Starting from the Central Plains to the camp where the Qin army was stationed, the road was a wild land. There were a large number of powerful birds in the sky, and there were monster beasts in the mountains and forests.
These monster beasts that grew up in the wild land fought with each other, tempering their monstrous rage.
But all the humans who come to these places basically become the blood food of these monsters. Every ninth-level monster beast and bird that can grow to the ninth level can devour countless living beings.
These monsters have regarded humans as one of their prey.
After encountering Yang Dayan's flying boat, they all pounced on it to prey on it, which caused a lot of trouble to Xia Jun.
The flying boat can hide the sight, but the vitality and blood of the many soldiers on the flying boat cannot be concealed. In an emergency, Yang Dayan can control the flying boat's magic circle to shield the breath and avoid the sight of others.
However, manipulating the magic circle requires Yang Dayan's strength, and it is impossible to turn on the magic circle all the time. It is normal for some sensitive monsters and monsters to find him while traveling long distances.
Yang Dayan felt very bad, as if he was remembering the time when he was running back and forth in the Demon Suppression Division, hunting monsters.
at this time.
As the flying boat approached, a rainbow light suddenly roared out from the Qin army camp in front and appeared in front of the flying boat.
"Who dares to spy on our army?"
The rainbow light dissipated, and an extraordinary and heroic general appeared in mid-air.
Yang Dayan immediately activated the flying boat. The flying boat's invisibility circle was closed, and more than a thousand flying boats seemed to suddenly appear in the sky.
"I am Daxia Yang Dayan, and I have been ordered to escort Fei Zhou here. Who is the general?"
Yang Dayan stepped forward and said loudly.
When the flying boat appeared in the sky, the eyes of the Qin army general on the opposite side became extremely bright, staring closely at the flying boat's glance back and forth, with a look of surprise on his face.
"My general Wang Ben, the general has been waiting for you for a long time..."
Wang Ben's attitude became very polite, and a smile appeared on his face.
This is normal. Anyone who sees someone giving him a gift will smile.
After Yang Dayan knew the other party's identity, he also looked at the other party. The other party was also one of the famous generals of the Qin State in history.
Wang Ben's father, Wang Jian, was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. The father and son led the army to destroy five of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and their merits were even higher than that of Bai Qi.
Bai Qi has countless military exploits and has made great contributions to the Qin State. In terms of his ability to command troops and his achievements, he is far ahead. Even Wang Jian himself is one of Bai Qi's admirers. But no matter how many achievements he has, it is still not as good as his contribution to destroying the country.
Just based on his record of destroying Wei and Qi, Wang Ben can be regarded as a top general.
He led the way, while Yang Dayan commanded the flying boat and followed him to the military camp that had been prepared on the right side of the camp.
After the flying boat landed. Wang Jian, who had white beard and hair, came with the generals of the Qin army.
Also following Wang Jian was Shen Tianzi, the deputy envoy of Daxia. The role of Shen Tianzi was to protect the envoy Pei Ju just in case.
At this time, Pei Ju was still in Xianyang, and Shen Tianzi came to the front line to assist the Qin army in taking over Feizhou.
By the way, he urged the Qin army to send troops as agreed.
"Is this the flying boat..."
Wang Jian looked at the flying boat in front of him, his eyes flashed, and in an instant, many strategies and tactics for using the flying boat to defeat powerful enemies emerged in his mind.
Yang Dayan stepped forward and said: "This is the airship developed by our master craftsman. Each airship can carry up to 1,300 people. If it is fully transported, a million troops can easily cross the mountains... "
The maximum load he mentioned was when all the soldiers were loaded and nothing else was considered. But in fact, in addition to the soldiers, the flying boat also needed to load grain, grass, weapons, and various bows and crossbows.
If there are no grains and crossbows but only soldiers, and they are dropped into the enemy's hinterland, the soldiers will attack the city empty-handed... Of course, this cannot happen.
So under normal circumstances, a spaceship can carry about three hundred to five hundred people.
Only twenty or thirty people are needed to control the flying boat...
Wang Jian listened to Yang Dayan's explanation, walked to a flying boat, and touched it with his palm, seeming to observe the details of the flying boat through his own induction.
Behind Wang Jian, Wu Yongze, who came with Yang Dayan, noticed that behind Wang Jian there were several middle-aged men in simple clothes with thick calluses on their palms.
Qin Mo.
In just an instant, Wu Yong's identity emerged in Wu Yong's mind. What the Mo family is best at is making various instruments, and Qin Mo's ability to make instruments has reached its peak.
The flying boat fell into their hands, and it would take less than two or three months for the Qin State to imitate the Daxia flying boat.
Soon, after Yang Dayan introduced everyone, he finally said: "General, our army has sent the flying boat as agreed. I wonder when the general will send troops?"
Wang Jian chuckled and said, "General Yang, don't be anxious. The general has just sent the flying boat. Our army still needs to get familiar with it. It won't be too late to send troops after the drill is familiar with it!"
Yang Dayan thought about it and felt that what the other party said made sense, so he nodded and stopped talking.
Wu Yong, who was standing behind, glanced at Wang Jian with his peripheral vision.
He didn't dare to stare at the other person with his eyes. A gaze that was too obvious would arouse the feelings of a strong man like Wang Jian.
"As expected by Your Majesty, after the Qin army obtained the flying boat, they wanted to delay time..."
Wu Yong thought to himself.
It is normal for the Qin army to behave like this. After all, from the Qin army's perspective, the purpose of Daxia's flying boats was to allow the Qin army to enter Hanzhong and Shu Han to suffer losses, and to contain the Shu Han's troops.
Daxia's purpose itself was impure, so after Qin got the sugar-coated cannonball, it was natural for him to eat the sugar-coated and spit out the cannonball.
Wu Yong did not speak, but followed the others and circled the flying boats several times.
When Yang Dayan was invited to drink by Wang Ben, he quietly boarded a flying boat... Not all of the more than a thousand flying boats were given to the Qin State, but there were more than a dozen flying boats owned by Yang Dayan, Wu Yong and others. my own.
After all, when returning to the Central Plains, Yang Dayan and Wu Yong had to go back via flying boat.
"It's time to deliver the message..."
After Wu Yong returned to Feizhou, he quietly opened the sound transmission altar and gave orders to his men who had been placed on the road when he was on his way.
Two days later.
Inside the Qin army camp.
Wang Jian was holding a book of war and reading it with concentration.
What he read were the military books and strategies written by famous historical generals after the Qin and Han dynasties. Whether it was Cao Mengde's Mengde New Book or Tan Daoji's Thirty-Six Stratagems, he read them frequently and absorbed the essence...
There is no end to learning. Top generals like Wang Jian can quickly make up for their own shortcomings after absorbing and learning the military tactics and experience of later generations. Become stronger.
When the Qin State unified the world, chariots had not completely withdrawn from the stage, and the cavalry had not shown the power to look at them from all sides.
Qin's campaigns in all directions relied on infantry formations and sharp Qin crossbows.
If Wang Jian didn't improve himself and knew little about cavalry, he would have very obvious flaws when he went to the battlefield to face off against generals from other dynasties.
Not only Wang Jian, but the generals who are more advanced in their era have more areas to make up for, and Li Mu Lianpo, who is as famous as Wang Jian, is no exception.
"Father, Yang Dayan from Xia Kingdom is here again to urge our army to send troops!"
Wang Ben walked into the big tent and said softly.
Wang Jian did not put down the military strategy, his eyes remained unchanged, and he just said lightly: "Ignore it, I have my own plan when to send troops."
Wang Ben hesitated for a moment and said: "I understand my father's thoughts. He doesn't want to take risks for the Xia Kingdom, but the flying boat has spread throughout China. After a while, other dynasties will also be able to develop the flying boat..."
"When the flying boats spread, our army will have no advantage if it moves south!"
When Wang Jian heard this, he put down his military book and glanced at his son, and said, "You are right. If you want to take Hanzhong, it is natural to use flying boats to launch a surprise attack as early as possible."
"My father also wants to capture Hanzhong for Your Majesty, but as a general who commands hundreds of thousands of troops, I cannot easily mobilize the army just because of other people's words... Even if we want to send troops, we must wait until we are fully prepared!"
Wang Jian had no intention of deceiving Daxia.
After all, he was a general, not Zhang Yi Fan Sui, who was good at intrigues in the Qin court. After he got the flying boat, he did not delay as Wu Yong thought.
In the past two days, he sent many soldiers to get familiar with Feizhou.
Even if you want to send troops, you still have to wait until your soldiers are familiar with the operating procedures of the flying boat, right?
According to Wang Jian's idea, after his troops are proficient in flying boats, he will send troops south.
But Wu Yong had already had prejudices in his mind, and he only thought that Wang Jian wanted to delay time... This was also the result of Qin and Daxia having their own agendas and no sincere communication.
At this time, a personal guard came to the big tent and reported: "General, there is an urgent report from Hanzhong."
Wang Ben immediately went out, took the urgent letter from the guard, and delivered it to Wang Jian.
"Well... there are rumors in Hanzhong that Zhuge Kongming has studied the secret of the flying boat and is building a flying boat for Shu Han!"
Wang Jian's face changed slightly.
After the appearance of flying boats, Daxia used flying boats to attack the hinterland of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Li Tang used flying boat soldiers to go out of Taihang and cut off Li Mu Lianpo's retreat, causing the armies of the two top famous generals to be defeated and only escaped with their lives.
Whether it is the situation in Daxia or Hebei, Qin has long been concerned about it.
The results of the battle between Li Tang and the Ming Army in Hebei Province had already reached Guanzhong and reached the ears of important national generals like Wang Jian.
Both Li Mu and Lian Po were acquaintances of Wang Jian, especially Li Mu... Wang Jian originally commanded an army to attack the State of Zhao, but was defeated repeatedly by Li Mu. As a last resort, he used the "Qin State's No. 1 General" the God of War Guo Kai, and then moved The big stone blocking his eyes fell.
The battle between Wang Jian and Li Mu was like two samurai competing. One of them was at a disadvantage, so he asked someone to use a dump truck to kill his opponent. Some are defeated by force.
Wang Jian himself also knew that it was not his ability that surpassed Li Mu, but the fact that Zhao's cowardly king and treacherous ministers destroyed themselves, that allowed him to win.
As an opponent, Wang Jian knew very well how powerful Li Mu was.
So when the news came that the two famous generals Li Mu and Lian Po joined forces and were ultimately defeated and only escaped with their lives, Wang Jian was extremely shocked.
At the same time, he also attaches great importance to Daxia Feizhou, which caused the loss of the reputation of the two famous generals.
"Please sir!"
Wang Jian immediately sent someone to summon Qin Mo.
Soon, the master craftsman representing Qin Mo entered the big tent. After he entered, Wang Jian did not hide anything, and quickly told the news he had received, and then asked: "If sir, lead all the master craftsmen to try their best to imitate the Daxia Feizhou ,how long it takes?"
Qin Mo's belly is Qin Mo's. When he heard this, he said cautiously: "If we try our best to imitate it and use the flying boat as a reference, it will take about a month, but the flying boat we create will definitely not be as perfect as the Great Xia flying boat."
"Zhuge Kongming...if it's him, I can only say that it wouldn't be surprising if he imitates a flying boat anytime!"
Fu knew what Wang Jian wanted to ask, so he directly expressed his opinion.
Obviously, I admire Zhuge Liang's ability in making various mechanisms and equipment. Even ashamed of himself.
"Zhuge Liang..."
Wang Jian's expression became a little solemn.
He has interacted with the Shu Han many times over the years, and he is extremely familiar with the name of Shu Han's Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. The other party's ability to govern the country far exceeds that of his general.
As for his ability in leading troops, it's hard to say since he hasn't personally experienced it.
However, Zhuge Liang's ability to train troops and the eight formations he deployed at the entrance to Hanzhong were very difficult to deal with as Wang Jian had personally experienced.
"Father!"
Wang Ben shouted.
Wang Jian knew what his son wanted to say, so he waved his hand to silence him, and sent someone to call Yang Dayan to ask about the situation.
Yang Dayan thought for a while and said: "Before I came, I heard that dozens of our army's flying boats were sunk by Zhang Fei, Jia Fu and others of the Han army... If Zhuge Liang has the reference of the flying boat wreckage, he should be able to imitate it. Get out of the flying boat."
When Wang Jian heard this, he immediately took a deep look at Yang Dayan.
The other party actually only revealed this important information now.
However, after all, Daxia and Qin had just joined forces and were not allies yet. He could not blame the other party whether they said so or not.
"General, it won't take long for Zhuge Liang to imitate the flying boat. I think the sooner your army sends troops, the better!"
Yang Dayan reminded.
Wang Jian suddenly smiled and said: "General Yang is right. If we send out troops now, there is one thing that we need the general's help with. Our army is not yet proficient in operating the airship, so we need the general to bring people on board with us..."
"If the general agrees, the Japanese general will order the dispatch of troops tomorrow!"
Yang Dayan was stunned for a moment. His mission was only to escort Feizhou, but he didn't expect Wang Jian to ask him to go south with the Qin army.
He thought for a while and did not dare to make a rash decision. He said: "I dare not make a decision on this matter. Please wait a moment, General. I will ask Pei Shangshu before I reply."
"Then I'll just wait for the good news!"
Wang Jian nodded slightly and looked at Yang Dayan as he stood up to leave.
When Yang Dayan's figure disappeared, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
"Oh, we really can't wait for time!"
Wang Jian sighed.
Forget it, he couldn't just wait for the Shu Han to make the flying boat. Once the Shu Han mastered the power of the flying boat, just as Wang Ben said just now, the advantage that the Qin army had just gained would quickly disappear.
If you want to conquer Hanzhong again, the difficulty will be doubled.
After hearing the verification from Qin Mojuzi and Yang Dayan, Wang Jian believed 60% of the news that Shu Han had developed the flying boat.
…
"What did you say? Did you send people to spread the rumors in Hanzhong?"
Yang Dayan, who returned to the place where the Xia army was stationed, was about to discuss with Pei Ju through the sound transmission altar when he heard something that shocked him.
